"All 4am starts in the UK 1st Test Jan 25-29 2nd Test Feb 2-6 3rd Test Feb 15-19 4th Test Feb 23-27 5th Test Mar 7-11 Harry Brook has gone home ,replaced by Dan Lawrence of Surrey Virat Kohli not available for first 2 Tests Indian coach Dravid reckons the First Test pitch might turn. No shit Sherlock England havent bothered with a warm up game presumably as they would be put on a green top against an attack of medium pacers"

Said yesterday that India might struggle with 200 but that was thinking England might lead by 120 & add another 180 & be comfortable with a 300 lead. Letting India fly out of the blocks in the 4th innings not helping

"Well surprise surprise the pitch us suddenly not the monster it was while we batted, they will reach the total comfortably"

"Absolutely Boots, this capitulation has been totally avoidable. *Please excuse my spelling, poxy predictive txt."

"Utterly disgraceful batting by England, getting fucked off with this bazball bollocks"

Joe Root opens the bowling in the fourth innings. It has come to this.

"Flakes falls. 145-9, a lead of 200 is looking like wishful thinking now."

Can India be reported to the ICC for what seems an unplayable track?

The leggie has bowled superbly well...

What is this nonsense with these light-up bails? Absolute rubbish!

What is this nonsense with these light-up bails? Absolute rubbish!

Ugly looking third team track. 200 could take some getting.

"Robinson gone next ball. Be lucky if we bat for 50 overseas. 133-8. Yes Coffee, we have really self sabotaged here."

This is a fine example of how to fuck up a really good position.

"Hartley gone, Robinson survives after review. 133-7"

First ball after tea and Bristow gone

Does anyone remember Hartley Hare?

"Over to you, o1bb"

Stokes bowled. 120-5.

Crawley bowled. 110-4. Making very hard work of this.

"Ollie Pope, WTF?!"

"Are England throwing this away? They took a lead of just 46 into the second innings after looking to be set for 100+. Now two quick, cheap wickets. It's down to Root and Crawley."

"In Bengali, the word for Goose is Raj Haash, which translates as King Duck. Make of that what you will."

"No Leach, No Brook, no Wood and no Ahmed. England 2’s"

Sorry Day 2 of course. GRUBBERS on Day2 ! FMOB

England got those 50 runs & on Day 3 balls are running along the ground India have cooked their own goose with their pitch fixing (bit like the ODI World Cup final ... they cant help themselves) and with it getting slower and lower with the odd SHOOTER I cant see them making 200 in the 4th innings. Imagine Kohli might come under pressure to play the 5th at 2-2. His wife has had the baby so not sure why he isnt playing here. Bumrah will return after recovering from bowling 23 exhausting overs in the 3rd Test.
